Our Weddings by Dorit Rabinyan

Iran meets Solly by the sea one evening. It is the beginning of a life long love affair. Iran's mother stitches 5854 pearls on to her wedding dress and with 5754 of them the couple buy a tiny flat shaded by guava trees. There they have five children - Maurice the first-born, who is outshone by his glamorous sisters; Sofia, the eldest daughter who dreams of luxury and a wealthy husband; Marcelle, the clever one always buried in a romantic novel; Lizzie, who fantasises about sex at a shockingly young age and Matti, the baby. Surrounded by their parents' passion, the children grow up longing to fall in love. Only to discover that life isn't always a fairy tale ...
Dorit Rabinyan was born in 1972 and lives in Israel. Her first novel, PERSIAN BRIDES, was published in eight languages (Canongate in the UK) and was awarded The Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Literary Award in 1999.
